About file sharing/cloud storage, here's a list for comparison: * Google Drive offers 15 GB for a start and has the lowest prices (2$ for 100 GB, 10$ for 1 TB/mo.) * MS OneDrive 5 GB, but we all like Microsoft ;) * Dropbox 2 GB, additional recommendation is not much, around 500 MB if I'm not mistaken * Copy 15 GB + for every recommendation you get additional 5 GB (I received 40 GB of bonus space this way forever)plus the thing about some of these file storages is that only a few of them actually share the space on shared projects, ie. a shared project divides space from all participants equally, not just one. Those would be Drive and Copy I think.

I am also ready and yes, a separate group discussion/chat would be better so that it won't disturb other folks here (secondary would be that email chats are a bit confusing at times). Or otherwise, Skype works too.About the drives, I guess Dropbox/OneDrive/Google Drive are similar (at least for me). So I am fine with whatever you all decide upon.And yeah. I will also contribute as much as possible(that goes without saying).Can everybody who is contributing tell their location/GMT so that we could have a better understanding of when to disturb each other?Mine would be Mumbai, India (GMT +5:30)On Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 10:54 PM, Keith I Myers <keithiokepamyers@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:keithiokepamyers@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote:I completely understand Patrik and am willing to make as many sacrifices as needed to ensure that this gets done.

Time zones are a pain when it comes to projects like these, but a compromise has to be made if work is to be done as quick and efficient as possible, even though art itself cannot be rushed and those expecting fast results will get... well, fast results not resulting in what they hoped for. I also agree on the mailing list for those managing the project, to get a general overview of the state of things, but I still defend the idea, that members of the design team directly working on the project should have a way of reaching one another faster than over emails, plus there is a downside to email attachment limitations, as greater files (let's say .PSDs) cannot be sent over email. For that a shared cloud storage for immediate and effective work on the same file from different locations comes into discussion.I can't think of anything better than Google Drive, although its functionality is limited to platforms in runs on, afaik there is no suitable Drive client for Linux still and there are only a few that share the same functionality, one of which is Copy <http://copy.com>, which I use and works flawlessly on all platforms, mobile included. A private social media group, since most of use social media, would be an effective and more interactive way of collaboration with live previews and direct discussions in forms of comments, which are more readable than nested email chats in which I personally often get lost, to be honest. Live chat over one of the mentioned communication applications is an even bigger plus. Please understand, that since we cannot sit in one cosy office and discuss things face to face we have to find other means that suit the work pace. Some sacrifices will have to be made, but that's the usual case in everything. Dňa 9.1.2015 o 17:19 Keith I Myers napísal(a):Hello Patrik, I think the mailing list would be the best option with a failback to Skype/Facebook/Hangouts for "real time" communication. I do have and use Skype on occasion. The mailing list may be the best approach for other forms of communication as we are all on different timezones. I am currently on US EST (GMT -5) as I reside in Miami, Florida.

Dňa 9.1.2015 o 17:08 Keith I Myers napísal(a):Hello Patrik, With the newly sparked interest between you and Prashant, do you guys feel that we can take this on and get something done rather quickly? I am not an artist in any sense but I can help as a Project Manager and Consultant to ensure that our design guidelines are respected.

I know it may seem difficult sometimes to work with me, since when I work on something I expect the other side to be as clear about their demands as they can, which I do realize is not often possible and the industry I am entering also teaches, but believe me when I say when the communication is right, and attention to detail is paid, all work will be done accordingly. To the website issue, I cannot, nor do I consider myself a web designer, _yet_. Currently I am taking my three-months long internship at a local design company, so practically I am available, not sure to what extent, but I am. I have done a few small web designs and about 3 full websites in Joomla, but that was years ago. Joomla, however, is simple and could be an alternative for us - to take a suitable pre-coded Joomla template and redesign that. I am confident we have many skilled people with us who know their way around with the code, so Joomla, that is just like Ubuntu built by the community and with all its flexibility could be altered to anyone's desires. Then again I saw the work of some of our designers and again I am confident, that together we can achieve great things. _All it takes is proper communication_. I know we are busy, some of us extremely, and that is why we have to continue in a massive recruitment campaign to fill up our ranks. This campaign would involve the creation of recruitment banners/posters/other propaganda material to hire designers to join the cause. There are many artists who simply don't know where to fit, then there are those who are yet to experience the light of the stage, and there are so many art collectives/websites centred around art that I lost count of and are the best place to start searching at. Those being a part of such communities should start posting blog entries, forum threads and even in the news section of that site with the approval of admins that we are looking for people with skill, dedication and the right amount of enthusiasm for our cause because what we do is karma, but a good one.

Please can we get these updatedwhenever you have some time Thanks :) The whole website MUST be changed and it seems no one is following up with this issue. While I didn't give up yet, I feel my efforts to chase this issue is helpless/useless as neither the marketing nor the artwork sub-teams are following up. Above all, I have not yet seen a serious draft to replace the current website. I highly understand real life comes first (myself was and still busy with), this task was pending for more than one cycle and if I remember correctly, we wanted to do that from 14.04 cycle.
